N.F.Railway has introduced the system of issuing PRS tickets through Credit/Debit Card transaction. The first machine has been installed at PRS/Kamakhya o­n 12.12.2016 and made operational from 13.12.2016. With this the passengers now can purchase reserved tickets by swapping the card as per the tie-up with SBI.

Total 237 PRS having 315 counters will be provided with Point of Sale (POS) machines for which necessary intimation has been given to State Bank of India ( SBI). Chief General Manager of SBI visited Kamakhya station today along with railway officials and ensured that seamless operation will be provided at each location. The POS machine provided is based o­n GPS technology and no telephone connection is required. The machine can work for a period of six hours at a stretch without electricity.

The POS machines will be installed in a phased manner. The important PRS will be covered first. And thereafter the other stations will be provided with this facility.
